Notes, Cautions and Warnings
The following notes, cautions and warnings apply to all EPIRBs and
must be followed for personal safety and proper HRU replacement.
WARNING: Failure to replace the entire assembly can cause the
bracket to malfunction.
WARNING: Do not use any parts from the old HRU (the one being
replaced).
WARNING: The HRU holds down the ejector spring. Take great
care to hold the spring in place during removal and installation of the
new HRU to prevent injury.
WARNING: Stow the EPIRB in a dry location as it will activate if out
of the bracket and wet.
WARNING: Non-ACR-supplied hydrostatic release units must not be
installed in ACR Category I EPIRB brackets. ACR cannot and does not
warrant the performance of other manufacturers’ products. Installation of
a non-ACR-supplied HRU voids the warranty and potentially jeopardizes
your safety.
CAUTION: Visually check the EPIRB when removing it from the
bracket. It must be sent back to ACR for check up and/or refurbishment
if ANY of the following conditions exist:
•
Cracks to the exterior plastics
•
Activation indicator break tab is broken
•
Moisture appears inside the EPIRB
•
Lacquer is not present in one of the screws or appears to have been
tampered with
NOTE: Some parts in this kit will not be used. Refer to Figure 1 and the
instructions for your specific model for details. Discard unused parts.
